Decided yesterday that I had been boozing and eating shite for way to long and if I continued down this path of evil then I was going to end up a fat bastard!! So had a night off the booze last night, had a salad and then went to the pics to avoid the temptation of the bar :))

Went for a run with one of the girls I was sky diving with yesterday. 7am and I thought it was going to be a gentle 5 km or so...how wrong was I. God it was like running with Ruth. We ran from Town Centre to the airport back in the pissing rain and it was about 12 miles. I turned my ankle on the way back and have serious chafing going on in the groinal region! However i'm sure it will do me the world of good in the long run. Need to remember not to push the boat out too far. No running in 4 months means I have to take things slowly!!

Did, however manage to painfully and slowly climb up the 55m tower to do the AJ Hacket bungy thingy in Cairns. The founder of bungying and meant to be on of the safest places to do it in the world. Had to go last (for some reason) so got to watch the 2 girls and 1 guy all jump before me. But rose to the challenge and did a nice swan dive off the patform after some cheeky signs to the camera (could get dvd but didn't thing it was worth it). Wicked experience but not sure if I will do it again.

Whe we were waiting for the tracesport back to town one of the other guys dislocated his knee doing the jump. Obviously a bit shocking but it turns out that he had surgery to try and fix it a couple of months ago and this was the 6th time it had happened this month alone!!

Got a party tonight and then a day or sorting my life out before heading down the east coats.

Later party people,

C
